Mu Feng knew that at this critical moment, only he could step forward to resolve the crisis. He resolutely accepted the mission, led 20 carefully selected cavalrymen, carried dry food, and embarked on the journey side by side with Feng Yunshan. They rode at full speed, day and night, and finally arrived at the small village where Feng Yunshan's men were stationed at nightfall, which was only more than 20 miles away from the Black Eagle Village.

The Black Eagle Village was known for its alertness, and the surroundings were full of their spies. Mu Feng and his companions' arrival naturally could not escape these sharp eyes. Soon, a spy quickly passed the information to the village chief.

"Captain! The rebels are attacking again!"

Hearing this, Black Hawk's heart tightened: "How many people are there?"

"This time they only sent a cavalry team. The number of people does not seem to be large. It may be a vanguard." The spy reported cautiously.

Black Hawk was horrified and regretted his rash actions and being instigated by his subordinates to cause such a disaster. He had no intention of becoming an enemy of the rebels, and he only robbed the food for the sake of face and to show his power among the heroes of the green forest.

The mountain stronghold suddenly became boiling with heroes from all walks of life gathering together and preparing for battle.

"Chief, why should we provoke those rebels? They dare to confront even the officers and soldiers, how can we be their opponents!" Some people in the crowd began to whisper, expressing their uneasiness and worry. Black Hawk's face was gloomy, he knew that there was no way out at this moment. He took a deep breath, stood up, and said with a firm look: "Brothers, since my debut, I, Black Hawk, have never shown weakness to anyone. Today, facing the challenge of the rebels, how can we retreat? This is not only for face, but also for the glory of our Black Hawk Village!" His words revealed an unquestionable domineering aura, which made everyone present excited. Black Hawk continued: "Pass on my order, the whole village is ready for battle and ready to fight. We must let those rebels know that Black Hawk Village is not an easy place to fight!"

As Black Hawk's order was issued, the mountain stronghold immediately became busy. Some soldiers were cleaning their weapons, some were carrying food and grass, and some were responsible for scouting the enemy. Everyone understood that the upcoming battle would be unprecedentedly difficult.

At the same time, Mu Feng and Feng Yunshan were also making final preparations in the small village. They knew that the strength of the Black Eagle Village should not be underestimated, so they made a detailed battle plan. Mu Feng especially emphasized the familiarity with the terrain of the Black Eagle Village and the flexible use of tactics, striving to achieve victory at the lowest cost.

As night fell, the moonlight sprinkled on the earth like water. Mu Feng stood on the high ground at the entrance of the village, looking towards the direction of the Black Eagle Village in the distance. He knew that this battle was not only about personal life and death, but also about the future of the rebel army and the peace of the people. He took a deep breath, his heart filled with determination and faith.

At this moment, a scout came hurriedly to report: "General, the troops of Black Eagle Village have begun to mobilize and seem to be preparing to attack."

Mu Feng nodded slightly, with a hint of sneer on his face: "It seems that the leader of the Black Eagle Village already knows our strength! He is afraid that we will attack them! This will be very beneficial to our negotiations!"

Mu Feng immediately sent an envoy to deliver a letter and stated his purpose.

"You mean your General Mu sent you here?" Black Hawk asked when he saw the soldier who delivered the letter.

"That's right! Our general has something important to discuss with you! So he will come to visit you in person!" the soldier answered at this time.

"How many people did your general bring?" Black Hawk asked at this time.

"To show our sincerity in negotiating with you! Our general only brought more than twenty riders!" said the soldier neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Is that really the case?" A hint of surprise flashed in Black Hawk's eyes. He didn't expect Mu Feng to be so bold that he dared to visit his Black Hawk Village with only twenty people. This made him look at Mu Feng's courage and boldness with new eyes. He pondered for a moment and decided to go to the village gate to greet Mu Feng in person. He also observed what they were planning. If they had ambushed other soldiers, they would have been prepared. Order everyone to ambush in the mountains and forests around the village. As long as he gave a signal, everyone would rush out from the mountains and forests on both sides of the village. In addition, the people in the village could definitely surround these officers and soldiers!

When Black Hawk saw Mu Feng, his doubts in his heart became even greater. Mu Feng sat on his horse calmly, followed by more than 20 strong cavalrymen, each of whom had a firm and confident look in his eyes. This temperament made Black Hawk respect him.

"What do you think? He actually only brought twenty or so riders with him!" Black Hawk frowned and looked at Mu Feng and his dozens of men rushing towards the mountain village.

"The village chief might be up to something! Maybe they have ambushed people somewhere! They want to trick people into opening the village gate!"

Black Hawk's heart was filled with doubts and vigilance. He stood in front of the village gate, staring at Mu Feng and his group as they got closer and closer. He couldn't believe that Mu Feng had only brought such a small group of people to visit his Black Hawk Village. This was not in line with common sense, and there must be a trick.

He turned to his confidants behind him and said, "Pass the order, everyone stay on high alert. Pay attention to the surrounding mountains and forests to see if there are any ambushes. Also, prepare the archers, and shoot immediately if you find anything unusual."

Some people around Mu Feng also noticed that something was wrong.

"General Mu, we have detected some movement in the forests on both sides of the village. It seems that someone is lying in ambush there."

Mu Feng's face turned even uglier when he heard this. He tightly gripped the hilt of the knife in his hand, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. But he soon calmed down. This time he was not here to start a war. He said, "Keep a close eye on those ambushes. Once they make a move, we will rush out immediately."

At this time, Mu Feng and his men had already arrived at the gate of the village. Black Hawk looked at Mu Feng coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "General Mu, you are indeed very courageous. You dare to come to my Black Hawk Village with only such a small number of people. However, I have to remind you that this is the territory of the Black Hawk Village, not the territory of your rebel army."

Mu Feng smiled slightly and responded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Master Black Hawk, you are too kind. The reason why I only brought such a small number of people is because I believe in your sincerity. If you really want to reconcile with us, then you naturally won't care about the number of our people."

Black Hawk was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Mu Feng to respond like this. He looked at Mu Feng carefully and found that his eyes revealed a kind of firmness and confidence, which made him look at Mu Feng with new eyes. He took a deep breath and decided to put aside his doubts for the time being and listen to Mu Feng's intentions first.

"Okay, since General Mu is so sincere, please come in." Black Hawk waved his hand, signaling Mu Feng and the others to enter the mountain village.

Mu Feng nodded slightly and walked into the Black Eagle Village with the cavalry behind him. He knew that the next negotiation would be a tough struggle, but he was fully prepared.
